Good Saturday to one and all. We have another steamy and stormy day out there as our pattern gets ready to change. This change brings a return of the setup we’ve had for much of summer and this looks to roll through early August.<\/p>\n

Temps today are dependent on the amount and timing of thunderstorms going up. If the storms go up early enough, temps are under 90. If not, 90-95 will be common. Humidity levels will continue to be high, making it feel even hotter.<\/p>\n

This high humidity will combine with a cold front dropping in from the northwest to produce rounds of thunderstorms.\u00a0 While it won’t be all day stuff, any storm that goes up could put down a lot of rain in a short amount of time and that could cause some additional flash flooding.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center also has a low-end risk for severe storms today into tonight…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Damaging wind is the main threat from any storm that goes up\u2026<\/p>\n

DAMAGING WIND<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LARGE HAIL<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TORNADO THREAT<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The cold front moves in for Sunday and may still produce some showers and storms, especially in the west and south. There’s another low-end severe threat during this time…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Temps come down Sunday and even more so by Monday and Tuesday. Highs are back into the a comfy low and middle 80s for many with much lower humidity levels. It’s going to feel really nice as we close July and roll into August.<\/p>\n

The potential for some clusters of storms to drop in here is still in the cards for the second half of next week…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This happens as we the overall pattern snaps back into a familiar setup with intense heat in the far south and west and a trough in the east…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ensembles keep that trough going into the first full week of August…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The control run is even more emphatic with that trough…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can handle that pattern again!<\/p>\n

I will have updates if needed today. As always, you guys are all set to track today’s storms and severe weather threat\u2026<\/p>\n
